Background

Stuart is a scientist, educator, and leader who builds and applies methods to measure and understand how our environments are changing at multiple scales (www.eorc.org.au ). He works across collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams and organisations to deliver quality science that draws upon field-work, satellite-image data, and modelling, through: founding directorships of Australia national earth observation coordination body (www.eoa.org.au) and collaborative research infrastructure (www.tern.org.au ) and a world-leading research to operational program that supports government environmental monitoring (www.jrsrp.org.au ); and program leadership of industry-driven research (www.smartsatcrc.com ). Stuart’s work provides solutions to support sustainable development and resource use for all levels of government, various industries, and communities.

Research interests

  • Monitoring environmental change using earth observation and field data

    The majority of my work focuses on the use of images collected from satellite and aircraft, in combination with field measurements, to map and monitor the earth's environments and how they are changing over time. This work is done in collaboration with other environmental scientists, government environmental management agencies, NGO's and private companies. A growing part of this work now focuses on national coordination of earth observation activities and the collection, publishing and sharing of ecosystem data.

Available projects

  • Various - Advanced Earth Observation Analytics - Fully funded PhD scholarships with SmartSAT CRC

    Work wth us to help build Australia's capacity to design, build and launch earh-observing satellites that will support sustainable use of Australia's environments, and contribute to our industry and government activities, as well as contributing to international earth observation. The CRC is Australia's largest research-industry partnership 2020 - 2026 and the earth observation analytics program is based in our group at UQ. If you are interetsted in developong EO analytics for specific industries, designing next generation earth observation sensors and including on-board processing, or calibration-validation of EO data and products - please get in touch with us !
